Fokker Dr.I triplane by cog - multiple - 1:72 - PLASTIC

Thank you kindly. OC.

Some more good work today, first thing was to fit the Two lens units under the wings - these just popped in with a bit of ca run around the edge, next was to fit the Two radiator flow control vents under the wings, these were then painted same as the underside. Then the biggy - adjust and fit the other main u/c unit, again this needed some sanding then a good measure of ca to get a good bond, the tricky part was locating the adjustment leg struts (I had to keep pushing them in place as they had some flex). Also here is a pic showing the first stage of the re - paint. So this is the current situation. OC.

Thank you Edward. OC.

Here's the plan - My farther used to tell me things about his service one of those was about a Special version they were testing of a Seafire, basically it was a modiefied mk.III - the FAA where he was based had a small outfit there called the SSCU Special Seafire Conversin Unit, the idea was to see how far they could push a mk.III by improving the already established airframe and engine. They thought if they could make it breath better by putting the Two Rads under the wings same as the Spit IX this should increase the airflow, also they put on the pointed tail/rudder to give it more control, there was a few other mods done also. It was a sucess but a Griffen engine upgrade was coming online soon and this did a way with a few proto's that my dad worked on. OC.

Thank You ALL for taking the time to expalain this - its important info that will help avoid disastors like what happened to me - but also anyone else in a similar situation. This I why I Love this site and all who post here. OC.

Thank you for looking into that for me EG, I was thinking - I have hand painted the bottom wings on my Mossie and hasn't turned out too bad, so I should be able to hand paint the Bottom of the Seafire to the same standard - cheaper as well just a few quid (UK pounds). I have the Dark Grey rattke can I need I brought that months ago as I wasn't sure about the color on my mossie. So I will order a tin of XF21 off flea bay. OC.

I still record stuff but not by bass that went a long time ago, my main musical interest is Digital recording Synths VST, I have a bout 4 on my laptop, I record amd mix sections in a laptop device called Wavepad its quite good you can save as Mp3 or WAV files, I have some of my stuff that I have done on my own and some with a few musician friends stored in Bandcamp. I have to be in the mood though as a lot of the time im to dry to get my head round making music and other times it just flows. One of my VST's - OC.

Thank you kindly, I will admit it nearly took off out the back door, but I counted to Ten instead stomped my feet cursed a bit - and felt a lot better, I did get a few words from the admiral though along the lines off "Why make them if they make you so upset" OC.

Very tidy work - same method as I used tried and tested on here. OC.

Lovely work on those camo jobs really sharp mate. OC. -
Lots of nice progress there Denis carpet monsters do exsist - they move around our site at free will so we never see them, they have a cumming disguise and blend in well to carpets/rugs even hard flooring, just dont tread on one "have heard you could loose a leg" Did I hear you say "Bass Guitar" I used to own this bad boy a good few years back. OC.

Oh foregot to mention - the exhaust manifold colour is a made up mix of part red ocre, part flat alum and part black then just mixed till I got that colour. OC.

Looking geat Craig. OC.

The wings were not affected (thankfully) that wing above was the last to be painted and hasn't had that Acrylic top coat problem (And Wont) but pleased how it has come out. OC.
-
Despite the issues you have had with the poor fit - you are doing a great job, I love the paint finish. OC.
